Over 180 years of photography...

By
It is hard to believe how long that photography and videography has been around since the latter began in the 19th century! I was just perusing through YouTube today, and came across a video of the world's oldest photos, and now, out of pure curiosity, I was delighted to find out that 2019 is the 180th anniversary of the daguerreotype, and so I decided to write on the history of photography and videography. Now, here's a timeline of photography/videography:

1826-1827: The first photo, View From The Window at Le Gras. Taken almost 200 YEARS AGO! How was THAT taken 200 YEARS AGO? It feels like it was taken when the dinosaurs were here! 😂😂😂😮😮😮


1839: The daguerreotype is introduced. Technically, the photo dates to 1837, but still, it was a very long time ago, and daguerreotypes were a huge advancement in camera quality during this time. I mean, the photo looks so good, it could almost be considered "clear" in 2019!
Taken 180 years ago!


1861: The first "real" color photograph. There was another one taken in 1850, but most of it was added later on, so it doesn't count. Taken over 150 years ago!


1878: The beginning of videography. This "film" of 15 seconds was taken in 1878 as the first video. Recorded over 140 years ago!


1888: What many consider as the first video, Roundhay Garden Scene, was recorded in 1888 as what many consider the first video. Sorry about it being only 3 seconds, that was all tech had in 1888!
Recorded over 130 years ago!


1894-1895: The beginning of sound film. This was REVOLUTIONARY back in the day, and can easily be looked back on!
Recorded about 125 years ago!


1902: The first color video. What a great way to start a new century! Recorded over 110 years ago!


1992: The first photo uploaded to the internet. Taken over 25 years ago!

April 23, 2005: The first video on YouTube and possibly the internet! Recorded over 13 years ago!


July 16, 2010: The first photo on Instagram and possibly modern social media. Aww, how cute! Taken over 8 years ago!


And finally, to modern day...


Mar 23, 2019: My own photo of the sunset in New Haven, CT yesterday! We went to IKEA; we hadn't been since September 2018, and it was time for a revisit, especially with the new kid! Wait, NEW KID? Find out about that and all my weekly adventures on S1 E20 of My High School Years, coming 3.29.19!

Personal note: Blogging is SO (before) 2022. Stay up to date with my content in 2023 onwards on my Instagram @tr27.official  (follow if you want to, it's up to you.) 325 followers as of 3:08PM EST, 12/31/2022. Eras aren't forever, and everything and every era must eventually come to an end, and that likely includes my time here on this site as my blogging era has come to a quiet end. However, NOTHING WILL BE DELETED. EVER. All content made on this site will remain from the past 4 years, and will remain as long as Blogger's servers remain online. If Blogger does ever shut down, ALL CONTENT HERE WILL BE ARCHIVED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY LINK. EVERY POST. EVERYTHING. I am strongly anti-deletion, and I shall stay that way, 2022 or 2023 or whatever year it is that you are reading this. Once posted on the internet, EVERYTHING LASTS FOREVER. AND I SUPPORT THAT. Anyways, here's my post: It's been a while since I last posted. As you can probably tell, I last posted on April 8,

IT'S DAY 3 OF MY 2019 FEBRUARY VACATION!

You're probably wondering, where's DAY 2? Well, let's just say that Day 2, was a snow day! We went nowhere! And so, Day 2 was not noteworthy for a blog post. So we're skipping Day 2 and going straight to Day 3. What happened today: (2/19/19) We had plans to go to Berkshire East. That would've been a lot of fun. However, by the time we even got to the exit for Berkshire East, it was like an hour before they closed. So we decided to do that tomorrow (2/20/19) and went to Yankee Candle instead. That was good, but it could've been better due to me almost losing my diabetes kit. (Luckily, it was in the car!) Now, I've had some good experiences with Yankee Candle in the past, especially in 2013. Now, a little flashback to Nov 30, 2013: Mom and I visited Yankee Candle on Nov 30, 2013. When we got there, it was a cold morning and we watched Santa come down from the sky. That was fun! And then, we had some good food and sweets, lots of fun, and a little Candy Crush
